UCL Genetics Society is one of the most exciting and welcoming communities at UCL. What I enjoy most is how it brings together students from many backgrounds who are curious about genetics, whether through research, industry, or emerging technologies. Through talks, workshops and lab visits, the society creates opportunities for students to explore the field beyond the classroom.

I particularly enjoy helping organise events that are engaging, thought-provoking and accessible to a wide range of students. Genetics is such a broad field, and I believe the society should continue creating opportunities that allow members to explore different ideas, meet new people and discover new interests. 

I previously served as Vice President and Head of Sales in another society, where I supported the President, coordinated committee tasks and helped generate funding. This role required strong organisation, teamwork and leadership, and taught me how important it is to ensure events and projects run smoothly.

As Vice President, I would focus on supporting the President and committee, helping coordinate events and initiatives, and ensuring ideas are delivered effectively. I am organised, proactive and reliable, and I would work to help maintain the welcoming, collaborative atmosphere that makes UCL Genetics Society so special.
